fossilhunter21 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Hi, @Ginger0412. It looks real to me! If it is fake, than they did a VERY, VERY good job of making it look real. @LordTrilobite -Micah Edited November 24, 2022 by fossilhunter21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Production" and "Morocco", these two often come together. Yeah, looks good! Franz Bernhard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Yes. Looks good. I don't see any funny business here. This is the lower left jaw (dentary bone) and tip of the snout (premaxilla) of a halisaurine mosasaur. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as the spacing between teeth (taking missing ones into consideration) and the enamel folds visible on some of the teeth, I'd say this is likely to be Pluridens serpentis.
